USPSTF Recommendation Statement on Hormone Therapy for Prevention of Postmenopausal Conditions

Posted by Jim Michalski

JAMA

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11 A.M. (ET), TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2022

Media advisory: To contact the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, email the Media Coordinator at Newsroom@USPSTF.net or call 301-951-9203. The full report and related articles are linked to this news release.

Embed this link to provide your readers free access to the full-text article This link will be live at the embargo time and all USPSTF articles remain free indefinitely https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/10.1001/jama.2022.18625?guestAccessKey=4927b8e8-df65-4c08-a3e1-7c0d5ab6b4ee&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=110122

 

Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends against the use of combined estrogen and progestin for the primary prevention of chronic conditions in postmenopausal persons and against the use of estrogen alone for the primary prevention of chronic conditions in postmenopausal persons who have had a hysterectomy. This recommendation applies to asymptomatic, postmenopausal persons who are considering hormone therapy for the primary prevention of chronic medical conditions. The prevalence and incidence of most chronic diseases (such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and fracture) increase with age, and U.S. persons who reach menopause are expected on average to live more than another 30 years. However, the excess risk for chronic conditions that can be attributed to menopause alone is uncertain. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this recommendation is consistent with its 2017 statement on hormone therapy for the primary prevention of chronic conditions in postmenopausal women.

About The Study: The findings of this study of survey data including 590,000 adults suggest that barriers to timely medical care in the U.S. increased for all population groups from 1999 to 2018, with associated increases in disparities among race and ethnicity groups. Interventions beyond those currently implemented are needed to improve access to medical care and to eliminate disparities among race and ethnicity groups.

About The Study: Researchers found in this study of 150,000 patients wide variation in hospital markup for head and neck cancer surgery, with a 4-fold increase in charges relative to costs in 25% of hospitals. The highest markups were found in for-profit hospitals in moderately concentrated and concentrated markets. These data suggest that greater transparency is needed to address disparities in hospital pricing.

Authors: Christine G. Gourin, M.D., M.P.H., of Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: In this 6-month randomized clinical trial that included 150 adults, a low-carbohydrate diet intervention led to larger reductions in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) than usual diet among adults with elevated untreated HbA1c, though the study was unable to evaluate its effects independently of weight loss. This diet, if sustained, might be a useful dietary approach for preventing and treating type 2 diabetes, but more research is needed.

On weekdays, the journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical research and commentary in more than 40 medical and health subject areas. Every article is free online from the day of publication.

 

About The Study: The findings of this study that included 43,000 veterans suggest that Black veterans hospitalized with COVID-19 were less likely to be treated with evidence-based COVID-19 treatments, including systemic steroids, remdesivir, and immunomodulatory drugs. Differences in care were partially explained by within- and between-hospital differences and underscore the need for a comprehension approach to minimize racial variation in COVID-19 care.

Authors: Florian B. Mayr, M.D., M.P.H., of the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System in Pittsburgh, is the corresponding author.

On weekdays, the journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical research and commentary in more than 40 medical and health subject areas. Every article is free online from the day of publication.

 

About The Study: Researchers found in this study of 31,000 medical school graduates a significant disparity in publication rates across sex and race and ethnicity, with women and Black and Hispanic students reporting lower publication rates compared with men and white students. These findings suggest that inequities in the physician-scientist workforce began early in training, as exposure to research and research productivity are critical for a successful career as a physician-scientist.

About The Study: Using a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery, researchers found in this nationally representative cross-sectional study of nearly 3,500 individuals age 65 and older that 10% were classified as having dementia and 22% as having mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The results indicated a disproportionate burden of dementia among older Black adults, of MCI among older Hispanic adults, and of both among people with lower educational attainment.

About The Study: Compared with non-video gamers, video gamers were found to exhibit better cognitive performance involving response inhibition and working memory as well as altered blood oxygen level-dependent signal in key regions of the cortex responsible for visual, attention, and memory processing in this study involving 2,200 children. The findings are consistent with videogaming improving cognitive abilities that involve response inhibition and working memory and altering their underlying cortical pathways.

About The Study: In this qualitative study of low-income, Black pregnant people in Detroit and the health care workers who care for them, prenatal care delivery failed to meet many patients’ needs. Participants reported that an ideal care delivery model would include comprehensive, integrated services across the health care system, expanding beyond medical care to also include patients’ social needs and preferences.

About The Study: The results of this survey study suggest that rural hospitals, critical access hospitals, and safety-net hospitals are not doing more and, in some cases, are engaging in fewer strategies to address the social determinants of health of their vulnerable populations, especially regarding community partnerships. This finding may be attributable to limited financial resources, workforce constraints, limited community resources and institutional partnerships, and lack of incentives.

About The Study: Among outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19, treatment with ivermectin, compared with placebo, did not significantly improve time to recovery in this trial that enrolled more than 1,500 participants in the United States. A lack of treatment effect was also seen for secondary clinical outcomes including hospitalization, death, or acute care visits. These findings do not support the use of ivermectin in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

About The Study: Living in high-segregated Black communities in South Carolina was associated with racial and ethnic severe maternal morbidity disparities according to the results of this study including 166,000 women with childbirths from January 2018 to June 2021. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Black versus white disparities persisted with no signs of widening gaps, whereas Hispanic versus white disparities were exacerbated. Policy reforms on reducing residential segregation or combating the corresponding structural racism are warranted to help improve maternal health.

About The Study: In this analysis of 1,193 major surgeries among community-living adults age 65 or older, the population-based estimate of 1-year mortality after major surgery was 13.4% but was 3-fold higher for non-elective than elective procedures. Mortality was considerably elevated among older persons who were frail or who had probable dementia, highlighting the potential prognostic value of geriatric conditions after major surgery.

About The Study: Researchers found in this study of residents from 65,000 U.S. Census tracts that neighborhood conditions and resources for children were significantly associated with life expectancy at birth, accounting for substantial variability in life expectancy at the Census tract level. These findings suggest that community resources and conditions are important targets for antipoverty interventions and policies to improve life expectancy and address health inequities.

About The Study: The results of this national survey study of 2,600 individuals suggest that a considerable portion of youth have experienced online child sexual abuse. Professionals planning prevention and intervention strategies for online sexual abuse should understand that dynamics include diverse episodes that are often extensions of dating abuse, sexual bullying, and sexual harassment, not only events perpetrated by adult internet predators.

Authors: David Finkelhor, Ph.D., of the University of New Hampshire in Durham, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: The findings of this cross-sectional survey of 138,000 patients who attended a postpartum visit suggest that inequities in postpartum care content were extensive and compounded for patients with multiple disadvantaged identities. Examining only one dimension of identity may understate the extent of disparities. Future studies should consider the content of postpartum care visits.

About The Study: Invasive breast cancer rates in childhood cancer survivors have declined with time, especially in those younger than age 40. This appears largely associated with the reduced use of chest radiation therapy, but was tempered by concurrent changes in other therapies, according to the results of this study of 11,550 female survivors of childhood cancer diagnosed between 1970 and 1999.

Authors: Tara O. Henderson, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital in Chicago, is the corresponding author.
